It's a very different kettle of fish from, say, Steven King. I would say if you like the (original) Sherlock Holmes stories (especially "The Hound of the Baskervilles", which is the most like it in tone), or H. Rider Haggard, you'd probably like Dracula.

I should have said I'm a fan of the Greco-Roman tradition. (I was thrown off, perhaps, by its name being in Greek form.) I have read Metamorphoses (of my own free will, in fact, not being compelled by the educational system), and liked that a great deal as well. Regarding Dracula, I'm not a big fan of that genre in general. Good eye, sealionii! I should have said I’m a fan of the Greco-Roman tradition.

Have you read Ovid's /Metamorphoses/? You'd probably like that, too. I see you are not a fan of the Dracula? It really is quite a good book, in my opinion. And there aren't many books that introduce a new archetypal figure to world literature. The Aeneid, well…it isn’t Greek. Have you read Ovid’s /Metamorphoses/? You’d probably like that, too.
